Dutch silver spoon with all marks, but hardly recognizable for me. Need some help here. Thanks in advance!
Town mark of Rotterdam, 4 lion's passant facing left in four quarters above vertical bar in a crowned shield. For Rotterdam see;viewtopic.php?p=82869#p82869
Year letter Z for 1686
Lion rampant in crowned shield, Province of Holland 1st standard mark silver 934/000
The maker's mark
Rooster, for Cornelis de Haan; his mark a rooster to the left in oval; active in Rotterdam 1674?-1705. He had his own shop. Zevenman in 1679 (Zevenman, m. (-nen), member of an administration consisting of seven members. *-SCHAP, o. government -, board of seven people). He married Maria Verolme in 1686. Nice find!
